Four Unexpected Areas You May Be Weakening Your Boundaries

When we think of strengthening boundaries we usually think of energy protection or shielding. Instead, let's think of the places we are weakening ourselves or creating weak spots in our energy field. If your beautiful warm wool coat gets a drafty hole, you wouldn't want to keep using that coat to protect you from the cold. You would either buy a new coat or patch it up. Like a coat with a hole, think of where your energy field may have a weakness lowering your ability to hold your energy boundary. Here are four areas to think about and the stones that can help you begin to heal or "patch" any holes in your coat (energy field).
